What to do & where to go in Ireland I'm flying to Ireland Sunday - Thursday with the girlfriend. Neither of us have ever been there before. We arrive on Sunday morning around 11am and will hire a car. We plan on spending Sunday night in Dublin and then getting out of the city to see the country.
I've not booked a hotel for Dublin yet so any central hotel recommendations are more than welcome. We're on somewhat of a tight budget so our absolute ceiling for Dublin is ~€100. Ideally something that isn't a travellodge type joint and doesn't look like a conference centre.
After a night in Dublin, we want to drive to see some dramatic scenery (cliffs, hills, a bit of light hiking etc). I'm thinking west coast - Donegal way? Out of Dublin we want to tighten our belts so were thinking of double rooms in hostels so any destinations and hostel recommendations are also very welcome.
Thanks!
OH... and a good pub recommendation for Sunday night Dublin. Less touristy with good booze :)
